Summary
Genesis 39 reveals how God's presence enabled Joseph to remain fruitful amid slavery and faithful despite sexual temptation. The sermon teaches that circumstances don't change God's character, and believers who prioritize God's presence over His blessings will experience supernatural empowerment to resist temptation and endure injustice.
Highlights
Our circumstances don't change the character of our God. It's very easy to believe God loves me and God is with me when your life is going well. It's very difficult to believe that when your life is painful.
The presence of God in your life is the most important thing about your life. If you have God's presence but nothing else, you're going to be fine. If you have everything but you don't have God's presence, you're not going to be fine.
It is very difficult for sin and gratitude to dwell in the same heart.
